Dégustation
Brilliant pale-yellow colour with occasional green highlights.
For the 2018 vintage, Sauvignon Blanc reveals its intense, powerful character on the bouquet, marked by citrus, tropical fruit (pineapple) and yellow peach aromas.
The pronounced fruity nose carries through to the round, generous palate, which serves as a testimony to high-quality, perfectly ripe grapes. The aftertaste is long and tangy with a particularly pleasant aromatic finish.

The cradle of Vignobles André Lurton, Château Bonnet is first and foremost a family home where tradition and ecological commitment come together in harmony. Nestled in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region, the estate promotes biodiversity with beehives, a henhouse, flowering fallows and orchards, while adopting biocontrol viticultural practices for some of its plots. Its fresh, expressive dry white wines reveal delicate notes of citrus and exotic fruit, perfect for accompanying seafood and oysters from the Bay of Arcachon. Its well-balanced red wines, with supple tannins, express all the richness and deliciousness of the fruit.
